The Raysâ pitching plan couldnât have played out much better than it did Sunday afternoon. Luis Patiño worked through the Blue Jays lineup once without allowing a hit or a run, displaying his electric stuff in his debut with his new team. Josh Fleming took over from there, avoiding hard contact and handling the bulk of the innings. And Louis Head made a perfect Major League debut.
It was an impressive and inspiring study in contrasts, whether you want to compare the right-handed Patiñoâs overpowering arsenal to the lefty Flemingâs less-overwhelming but equally effective stuff, or perhaps juxtapose the 21-year-old Patiñoâs rapid ascent to the 31-year-old Headâs long wait for his moment in the Majors.
He s walking fine, Toronto manager Charlie Montoyo said. That s great news. He should be fine.
But all the in-game manoeuvring had a smiling Montoyo saying that his brain was fried. There was no room for error, Montoyo said of the bullpen. They did a great job
Tim Mayza (1-0) followed Ryu and got the final out in the fourth. He gave up two singles in the fifth the last hits for the Rays and was replaced by Tyler Chatwood, who worked out of the jam.
Rafael Dolis got four outs to get his second save.
Totonto lowered its ERA from 3.20 to 3.04, which is the best in team history through the first 21 games of a season.
